2008254 - Superfluous list structure (Customize button)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect)

Description

[John Northup]

Steps to Reproduce

While using a screen reader, navigate to the Customize button.

Expected Behavior

Button structure is conveyed concisely.

Actual Behavior

In addition to button information, AT exposes a list of one item (because of <menu>).

User Impact

Unnecessary structure increases complexity and verbosity with no user benefit.

WCAG 2.2 References

Best practice only.

Recommendations

Remove the list structure, which is unnecessary to contain one button. In our testing in DevTools, changing the <menu> to a <div> resolved this issue without changing behavior.
